Middle Tennessee could see its first snow of the season this week, forecasters say.

Flakes could fall as early as Friday morning in the greater Nashville area with accumulation possible in the Cumberland Plateau, said Matt Reagan, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Nashville.

Temperatures are expected to hit the low 70s Monday. Strong wind gusts are also expected throughout the day.

"We’ve got warm air rushing up ahead of the cold front which will hit tomorrow," Reagan said.

The temperature is expected to drop to the upper 50s Tuesday and hit lows in the 40s later in the evening.

The forecast from Wednesday through Sunday calls for highs mainly in the low 40s and lows mainly in the 20s.
